I've seen many misconceptions from people who say the Earth is actually somehow a round ball in space. It is beyond absurd and preposterous so to try and clarify for them I've made a quick diagram showing just exactly how the Earth is flat and why it appears to be round from space. The reason Earth appears round from higher up is because gravity bends light, so the farther away you get from the light you become aware of just how powerful an influence gravity and refraction have on it. It's not that the Earth is actually curved it's just that the light is curving away from your eyes. The first picture here merely looks like a round object but it is obviously fake because it only shows part of the landmass - and obvious hint that there is a conspiracy cover up.

Gravity distorts the light to make the Earth look round? Well, technically, gravity does affect light, but not nearly to the extent that you're claiming. The only thing warping the image of reality is your brain.

Straight lines don't work on spheres? (the picture's not a sphere moron) the light flips over and we see the back of the light? (light doesn't have a back). maybe I'm naive, but this seems too stupid to be real.
